Hi and welcome to Fedora.
Om my IBM Thinkpad T20 - I use Generic LCD at 1024x768 as the monitor -
and it works.
That being said - Fedora Core 1 is really old and no longer supported.
I suggest you get a copy of Fedora Core 4 or Fedora Core 5 and try that.
Note that installing FC5 on my Thinkpad T20 was a little tricky, FC4
installs just dandy - both are currently supported with official
updates. FC5 might install as intended for you though, I don't know.
I do not recommend using FC1 at this point in time.
